38 Chestnut

Crystal 38 Chestnut presents a warm, muted brown ground with a finely woven surface and very gentle tonal variation. Its understated appearance lets the depth of the chestnut shade do the visual work.

About this fabric

The close-up shows a compact, plain weave with a soft, lightly mottled texture rather than a visible motif or repeat. Chestnut brown is tempered with taupe-like warmth, giving the surface a quiet, earthy depth that remains matte as the light moves across it. The catalogue records this as a fabric, with no performance features noted. Its even, mid-weight-looking construction makes it suitable for either upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Use this warm chestnut colourway to bring grounded softness to an armchair, sofa or dining seat, especially alongside cream, oatmeal and darker timber. Its restrained surface can also add gentle tonal depth to simple curtains or blinds.

A softly textured chestnut brown with a calm, adaptable character for upholstered seating, cushions or relaxed window treatments.

Pairs well with

38 Chestnut is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
